I have talked in the past about how much I love shirt dresses as quick go-to outfits when you need to get dressed & look presentable in a hurry. Wearing one on it's own all summer was great, and just because it's getting colder, doesn't mean you have to store your shirt dresses away until next year. By switching up the styling, you can wear your shirt dresses all year round.
The simplest way to wear your shirt dress during the cold months is to add layers. This particular look is perfect for dinner, a date night or even a holiday party. Adding a leather jacket, scarf and tights will keep you warm, but then you are able to lose the jacket & scarf and show off the great pattern of this shirt dress.
Another great idea is to remix the dress as a new piece. By adding a pencil skirt on top of the dress, it becomes a faux feminine button down top. This is the perfect look for a 9 to 5 work day.
Lastly, for a more casual weekend look, toss on the shirt dress over jeans and a tee shirt. Leave it open so it looks like a duster style jacket. This look is off duty cool with a pair of sneakers and a chunky scarf.

For sure - I love items that look great but feel comfortable
DeleteOh I love this look so much... first of all the print on that shirt dress is really fun, and like you, I try to get as much wear out of my warmer weather pieces into the cooler weather. Styled with the jacket and booties, this outfit is so cool and comfy looking!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more of your fashion inspiration!

What a beautiful dress! I love the bold pattern on it! Adding a leather jacket to a shirtdress really does change up the look. It's amazing.

This dress is a classic! I don't think it will ever go out of style. DVF is the best!
DeleteShirtdresses are my favorite style of a dress, possible. I loved this red floral one the first time around and I love it now with the black accessories and black leather jacket. Those booties are fierce. I have also styled my shirdresses very similar to this outfit before and also tried it over jeans with a tee underneath and a chunky scarf. I did that like two weeks ago. =))
